Desculpe! A frase é "estou com calor".

"Estou com acordo" funciona bem também, né?
Pode dizer apenas "estou de acordo" ou "concordo com…".
Eu vi. Achei que fosse possível porque há coisas como "estou com forme/sede/frio/quente".

Ultimately the Czech-Autralian started talking about how he was a Czech refugee to Yugoslavia (in the 80s?), and that his opinion is that if "we" (it became increasingly clear that I couldn't be part of this "we" even if I wanted to) just shot 50 refugees "they" would stop coming. I asked him if that means he's proposing murder as a political alternative, and he says "no, I'm saying we just shouldn't let them in" (why are racists alows too fucking cowardly to say what they actually believe!??). Earlier he'd also said it's really "gangster" that opposition leaders in Russia can just get shot in the street (and he wasn't joking, the look on his face made it really clear he actually admired this aspect of Russia) and implied that Trump will "clean things up". Then the Lithuanian guy said something about how refugees are as bad as Gypsies because none of them work. I left in disgust, which was probably the right decision because I heard later that when I left he started praising Hitler ("he kept the German people under control"). I reported the dude to Meetup.com but I don't think I'll go back again.

I'm feeling good about this one. The past couple of days I've been burning through İstanbul Yabancılar İçin Ders Kitabı.

There is even less ethnic intermarriage between Roma and the local population there than in other countries, as a direct result of which Roma in the Czech Republic are almost invariably dark-skinned and look very much like South Asians and dark skin is, IIUC, automatically associated with Roma there.

Do you do italki lessons for Arabic? How are the teachers?
Удачи с русским! Если хочешь, я могу сделать субтитры (на русском) для интервью с Кристиной Си, мне это несложно.
Btw I have a Turkish friend who's staying here and he wants to learn Russian, and I want to help him. He picks up words and phrases very quickly but whenever I try to teach him any grammar he gets bored. What would be your advice as to what materials I can use to teach him? I tried Pimsleur (only the dialogues from it), but omg Pimsleur Russian is so stilted and unnatural. They teach господин and госпожа in like lesson 3, while the last time I heard those words was probably a year ago. I think videos like these Kurdish lessons - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXr8vX40VZk - would be ideal, but I can't find anything like this for Russian. Essentially I need videos (films, cartoons, songs, lessons) with simplified Russian, and I'd like them to have a storyline, instead of just being a collection of phrases (the latter are plenty on youtube).

Sounds like Hungary.

Kind of, yes. From what I last heard, it's been getting consistently worse in Hungary.Saim wrote:Anti-Romani sentiment is pretty mainstream in Europe, but the fact that it's an "acceptable" form of bigotry means it's not necessarily correlated with other forms of xenophobia.

I know. My understanding is that the Czech Republic is somewhat different in this respect.
